RI Chapter 7

Night quickly arrived, and the entire village was silent.

In the front room of the small courtyard, the lights were bright. Lei Yun and Scarface sat on either side of the old man at the wooden table.

“Uncle, your craftsmanship is truly unmatched.” Scarface, Qiangzi, picked up a piece of meat, ate it, and couldn’t help but praise.

Lei Yun also couldn’t help but eat a few more pieces, saying, “Uncle, where did you get all this meat? It’s so delicious.”

The old man was somewhat pleased by their words. “This is all wild game I hunted in the mountains. You can’t get it outside.”

After speaking, he glanced at Scarface, Qiangzi. Receiving the look, Scarface, Qiangzi, picked up the wine glass in front of him and said to Lei Yun, “Brother, let’s have one.”

Lei Yun smiled, put down his chopsticks, picked up his wine glass, and clinked it with Scarface, Qiangzi.

Under the enthusiasm of the old man and Scarface, it wasn’t long before Lei Yun fell onto the table, feeling dizzy.

“Uncle, what do we do with this kid?”

The old man’s eyes lit up, but then he thought of something and said in a deep voice, “This kid has a good body. I’ll tie him up and put him outside.” After saying that, he looked towards the door inside and said, “It’s getting late, let’s hurry and set off.”

Scarface nodded and quickly tied up Lei Yun with hemp rope, tossed him into the west room, and then closed and locked the door.

The movement inside gradually disappeared and became still. Lei Yun, lying on the ground, hissed and quickly struggled to untie the rope, muttering, “You could have thrown me a little lighter, I bumped my face.” After saying that, he carelessly rubbed the corner of his mouth.

“Serves you right for pretending like that.” Hu Lanlan couldn’t help but laugh.

Lei Yun turned his head and glanced at Hu Lanlan outside the backpack, saying, “What, aren’t I afraid of Taoists anymore?”

“Hurry up and open the bag, I’m suffocating.” Hu Lanlan shouted.

Lei Yun quickly unzipped the zipper, and Hu Lanlan leaped out, shaking her tail, and said, “What’s there to be afraid of? Those two left a long time ago, let’s hurry too.” After saying that, she transformed into human form, and a graceful figure appeared before their eyes.

Lei Yun’s old face flushed, and he quickly turned his head, saying in a muffled voice, “Can’t you give me a warning before you transform?”

Hu Lanlan picked up the clothes outside the backpack and put them on one by one, amused, and said, “What am I embarrassed about? I’ve been admiring you for so long, it’s not like I don’t know.”

After speaking, she slowly fastened the buttons of her cheongsam and leaned against Lei Yun’s back, saying softly, “You’re not at a disadvantage.”

Lei Yun reached out and covered his face, saying in a muffled voice.

“I shouldn’t have brought you along.”

Hu Lanlan smiled upon hearing this, and said, “Alright, you’re all dressed.”

Lei Yun helplessly shook his head, picked up his backpack, and walked towards the door.

At this time, the bright moon hung in the sky, the stars were dense, and the two of them carefully followed behind the old man and the scarface by moonlight.

“Lei Yun, where do you think those two are going?”

Hu Lanlan, walking in front, couldn’t help but ask in a low voice after walking on the mountain road for half an hour.

Lei Yun also looked bewildered and shook his head.

The two of them followed for another ten minutes, when Hu Lanlan suddenly said, “There’s no one behind us.”

Lei Yun suddenly turned his head and looked at Hu Lanlan.

“There are several living people behind us.” Hu Lanlan sniffed the air vigorously.

Lei Yun grinned and looked at her with a smile.

“Lanlan, is our fox clan’s nose still that useful?” Before Lei Yun could finish speaking, he felt Hu Lanlan’s murderous gaze from the side.

It unmistakably meant, “If you keep talking, I’ll kill you.”

Lei Yun awkwardly touched his hair, gave a sheepish smile, and bent over to walk back.

The old man and the scarface suddenly entered a cave. Lei Yun and Hu Lanlan couldn’t go in, so they stood outside the cave and discussed.

Hu Lanlan couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t you go in and take a look?”

Lei Yun propped his chin with his hand and rubbed it, saying, “Forget it, let’s just wait here.”

Hu Lanlan anxiously said, “Wait for what? It’s so quiet outside, and the scent of those two is getting stronger and stronger.”

Lei Yun suddenly narrowed his eyes, staring at the cave entrance, and then looked around, slowly saying, “Looking at the surroundings, this is a good place for feng shui, with mountains and water. It should be a cemetery.”

“A cemetery?”

Hu Lanlan glanced around and said, “If you said that the village was a cemetery, I’d believe you, but this?” She stomped her foot twice and said, “This place is filled with baleful aura, who would dare to use this as a cemetery?”

Lei Yun looked at Hu Lanlan with a smile, his eyes full of teasing, and joked, “Lanlan, I’ve grown a lot over the years, I can see these things now.”

Ignoring Hu Lanlan’s glare, he continued, “Who said that a burial place must be a good place?”

Hu Lanlan looked at him and said, “Then what else could it be? Didn’t the ancients all advocate good feng shui to protect their descendants?”

“Yes, but some people don’t think that way. This place is indeed not a good place to protect descendants, but it is an extremely yin land with a strong baleful aura.”

Hu Lanlan frowned slightly, looking at him curiously.

“When we were eating, I felt something was wrong. Although the meat that old man gave me was delicious, it had a hint of bitterness. Ordinary people like Scarface naturally wouldn’t be able to sense this strange taste, but I could.”

Lei Yun paced back and forth at the entrance of the cave twice and continued, “Seven hundred years later, there was an emperor who, in order to achieve immortality, issued an order to alchemists to seek out feng shui treasures to refine immortality pills. Not many pills were refined, but in the end, he still didn’t live. After he died, his son was an idiot who actually buried him in the place where the pills were refined. That place had long been contaminated by pill toxins, and he also killed many palace maids and eunuchs who were buried with him, forcibly turning that feng shui treasure into a land of yin energy.”

He turned his head to meet Hu Lanlan’s curious gaze and said, word by word, “That emperor became a Yin corpse.”

Hu Lanlan suddenly stood up and said, “No way, the emperor became a Yin corpse?”

Lei Yun sighed and said, “Yes, unexpected, right? In the end, that Yin corpse was destroyed by Zhang Zhilong, a Daoist priest from Maoshan.”

“That little emperor didn’t live long either, and soon the prime minister, Wei Xun, ascended the throne.”

Hu Lanlan looked at Lei Yun in surprise and said, “Are you talking about Emperor Chongde, Li Jian? My god, I didn’t know there was this part of history.”

Lei Yun chuckled, “Yeah.”

After speaking, he looked into the cave and slowly said, “Although everyone kept it a secret at the time, it’s inevitable that someone leaked it out.”

He looked at the dark cave entrance and coldly said, “I’m afraid someone wants to use the feng shui of this land of yin energy to refine Yin corpses.” After saying that, he said to Hu Lanlan, “It’s getting late, judging by the looks of it, they won’t be coming out. Let’s pack up and go in.”

Hu Lanlan turned her head and glanced at the cave entrance, reluctantly nodding.
